I am installing an Ultra Tour-Pak with the additional lights on my 09 SE Road Glide and have a slightly different issue. I have located a 3 prong plug by the fuse box and it has the same wire colors as the main harness (1 blue, 1 black and 1 red with a yellow stripe) so I thought I had the correct plug. Also, the harness doesn't appear to have any slack wire; just a short pigtail about 4" long. When I check the output with a test light, I have 1 wire that's live, but don't get anything for signal lights. I took the harness out of the tour-pak and connected it up. No signal lights!

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

 

yep always a great site for info-ride safe

 

Welcome to the Forum. This is a fantastic place to learn about H-D's, motorcycles in general and have a good chucle too. A bunch of very knowledgable folks here and a few characters too yes.

 

The black wire is ground; the blue is "run" light (energized when ignition switch is "on;" and, the red/yellow wire is brake light) energized when ignition is "on" and front or rear brake engaged.

It should be a simple matter of plugging the tour pak harness that's on the bike (usually located under the left side cover, coiled and zip-tied) to the tour pak's wiring harness.

Personally, I'm not familiar with the SE Road Glide's wiring, but typically that wiring is part of the bike's main wiring harness and would be the same as an FLTR. My local dealer has an '09 SE RG in for service so I'll see if I can take a look at it tomorrow.

You should start a thread with your issue since this one is older and doesn't address your specific bike/problem.

 

Thanks Harleypingman,

I will start a new thread, and update tpomorrow with some photos.

No signal lights on my Tour Pack, just brake and running lights. Unless this is something new.

 

Probably just a goof on my part; I assumed that with dual filament bulbs there would be signal lights. The running and brake lights work fine when I plug them into the available pigtail. Would still need to buy or build an extension from the pigtail on the bike to the tour-pak.

My 09 SERG doesn't have a seperate brake light, just left and right dual intensity LED's so I may rewire the tour pack to have running, brake and signal lights on the tour-pak.

 

i installed a ultra tour pac on my 08 road glide, there is enough wire to run into the tour pac , start from the rear of the bike with the antenna wire cutting the plastic ties that hold iit in place, remove seat, you will see antenna wire goes into a casing that also contains light wire harness and plug, the wire assembly goes down the left side front of fender and is plastic tied in a loop to the right side of fuse block, cut plastic tie and pull it up through the hole, secure wire anlong frame rail and into tour pac, use rubber grommets for hloe in tour pac for wire harness to run through, if you are not adding speaker boxes Lowes sells nylon hole plugs 7/16" to fill mounting holes for speaker bolts just use a little silicone to keep them from popping out,on the other side of tour pack hole for another wire harness i installed a grommet filled in with silicone, hope this helps. and for the record the lights on ultra tour pac are running and brake lights only no turn signals.

 

I wish my 09 SE had the longer harness but it doesn't. The pigtail is only 4 or 5 inches long.

I have attached 2 photos showing the pigtail.
